Marinate Ribs In Barbecue Sauce

TLC is the secret ingredient in any good rib recipe.


Ribs, whether pork or beef, don't have to be tough to eat or prepare. A good marinade, time and slow cooking are all one needs to create dynamite, melt-in-your-mouth, fall-off the-bone, delicious bone-in ribs. Create your own marinade by using homemade or store-bought barbecue sauce and a little creativity. The acid in the sauce will help break down the fibers in the meat and it will impart a wonderful flavor reminiscent of summertime cookouts.


Instructions


1. Place your ribs meat side down in a large glass baking dish, or inside a large plastic bag.


2. Remove the skin from an onion and finely dice it. Place in the mixing bowl. Peel and crush the garlic and add it to the onion.


3. Blend the barbecue sauce and vinegar with the onion and garlic mixture and pour over the ribs. Shake the dish or bag back and forth to coat the bottom. Marinate in the fridge, covered, for 24 hours, turning the ribs every 3 to 4 hours to evenly marinate.


4. Remove the ribs from the marinade and allow them to come to room temperature before cooking; this will allow for more even and speedier cooking.
